Please make a map selection tool for ranked, no body actually really likes 2 cp maps (aside from you forums nerds) I literally get 2 2cp games an hour and then after that I just get bad maps like Havana or some other bad map. I haven’t had a numbani or a kings row in 2 weeks. Just let us pick maps like most other fps games have
I mean, I don’t personally really like Control apart from Lijiang and Busan, Oasis is sort of tolerable and I REALLY don’t like most 2CP unless attacking but I think it’d be kinda… Wrong if people could just play in their comfort zone on competitive.
Hell, I’d only ever vote on King’s Row, Havana and Route 66 if I could choose what maps to play.
I think a map voting system would work if you’d vote from a random pool of maps (say 2 from each map mode) and the pool would randomize for each game… But if it’d be like “I choose this, this and this and never have to play the maps I hate but others may like”, I don’t think it’d work.

I doubt they’d let you pick maps in ranked. You’re more likely to see a “non-preferred map” option, where you’re much less likely to get a certain map(s).
For QP at least, I wish there was a vote option where people could choose between 2-3 maps of a given mode and the most votes would win. Doubt it will happen cause it might cause more problems.
Once enough maps are made, they might make a rotation like they do in HOTS. Personally, I wish there would be more arcade maps - Deathmatch, CTF, etc.
At least for QP, you can leave before the 30s timer goes up. But in Ranked, you’re stuck.
That might screw with your endorsement level, but if you don’t care about such things than all the more power to you.
That being said, I wish there was SOME kind of map select because before this RQ foolishness, I would play Tank on some maps and Healer on others. Soon I won’t be able to do that. 
While selectable maps is not likely to come soon. In a recent interview between popular streamer Seagull and Game Director Jeff Kaplan, it was mentioned that Competitive will likely transition some day to simply have a “map pool” (just like how pro esports events like in Contenders and Overwatch League does), where only 2 or 3 of each map type are played in a single season. The maps from that pool would still be selected at random. If this is being worked on, there is no ETA for it.
AFAIK, leaving (QP) before the hero-select timer goes up doesn’t affect your endorsement rank.
After that, then yes, leaving will lead to a swift decline in endorsement rank.
So far, this seems to be the only reliable way to bypass un-fun maps.
yeah, lets make q times even longer, great idea… mooore filters!
I was thinking for every season they should be a total of five maps that is voted by the community and/or maps decided by Blizzard. Those maps that are decided are announced before the season starts.
Seasonal event for Quick Play, Yes.
For ranked, no.
Mate you work at blizz, can you tell them to not cause they will throw Paris in there without a doubt
